Time / AP / ROD McGUIRK 24-Jan-2011 (one comment)
(CANBERRA, Australia) — Australian authorities charged three Indonesian men with people smuggling after their rickety boat smashed into cliffs along a remote Australian island in December, killing an estimated 48 people aboard, police said Tuesday.
The men are accused of trying to smuggle the Iraqi, Iranian and Kurdish asylum seekers on board the wooden boat into Australia. If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison and a 220,000 Australian dollar ($220,000)
